Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I'll offer this up as a teaser to give myself inspiration to take pictures of the rest. This is the latest Colonial in my hoard, a Sharp USA-stamped 2-blade jack in Colonial's infamous faux-stag, on the same frame as the 3-spring stockman also stamped with "Sharp USA 270". 270 might be the pattern number?
This is the stockman for comparison:
A newer poster in General Knife Discussion posted a Colonial-stamped version of the stockman this week, so it should be interesting to see how many variants of these little serpentine knives we can put together with the collective accumulators of AAPK working on it.

I'm looking forward to your pictures. And funny that you mention these. I'm working on some pictures of a couple Colonial Sharp knives I have so I can add them to my website soon.
I got a new one recently too. We might be buying knives from the same guy.
Did you get your Sharp from a guy in Providence R.I? I have bought 5 Colonials from him this month. I love it when they come from the motherland!
Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Here are a couple Forest Masters made after Colonial stopped putting on shields. They have red and white stagged handles and the white one is glow in the dark. I have seen 3 other models of Colonials that glow but this is the first Forest Master.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I'd have to go back and check, I think it was just a one-off in my case. It is possible that some of the other Colonial-made Sharps came from there, however. I have records on a few of them, I'll check and see.B.Mauser wrote:I'm looking forward to your pictures. And funny that you mention these.

Life's been preventing me from getting a lot of my knives photographed but once I can secure a little free time I will be reorganizing everything and photographing the notables. I've already gotten started on the first part. Now, I just need to get through another looong work week.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
The last one pictured, the cattle knife, I actually bought it with the intention of "converting" it into a custom by tossing the shell handles and making new brass liners, nickel silver bolsters, and rehandling. But it is in good shape and I have been carrying it "as is". Also am I correct in calling it a cattle knife as it does not have the awl or punch blade as cattle knives usually do?DM11 wrote:Old Cutler you certainly have a nice collection of Colonial knives!

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Good looking collections y'all have! This little guy just arrived in the mail today and I'm so happy with it I had to post some pics. Direct from Colonial on sale this month, no tax and free shipping. Liner lock, thick 440C blade, just a great working knife. I intended to throw it in my toolbox but I don't know if I'll be able to keep it out of my pocket. And an unexpected surprise... it's serialized!

OC - I would just call it an equal end stockman. I've seen Case knives called stockmans that have a pen blade like yours instead of a sheepsfoot. Personally I don't care much for the traditional serpentine handles on my Case and Buck stockmans, so I like the cigar frame on yours. The other Colonial serpentine stockmans pictured above have a thicker cap end, which to me is more visually appealing than some of the other makes.OLDE CUTLER wrote: Also am I correct in calling it a cattle knife as it does not have the awl or punch blade as cattle knives usually do?

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I sold off most of my Colonial collection around 3 years ago. After Bob P. passed away I sort of lost the "allure" of the Colonial brand. Something sparked me to start up again so here's a pic of my latest finds. More are on the way.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I just about got carpel tunnel scrolling through the entire thread to see what I had already posted.
The ones posted below bring me up to date.
A couple of Anvils. I really like the handles on these. A Ranger middle jack. And a lot of twelve (one is not Colonial) I bought from 313 Mike. Mostly advertisers. I think he was cleaning out his sock drawer.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I like the Anvils also. Nice shield and unique handles. I don't currently own one but I'm searching. I had one a few years back but sold it.
As always....should have kept it.

The packaging is a bit shelf worn but still OK.

He is a large 3 blade stockman. My first impression at the Trade Days where I found it was, clean, excellent condition, sturdy and well made. It's just a beautiful ordinary knife and I couldn't pass it up. I just don't know yet the date etc.
